It could seem as if you have a greater sense of how the universe works today. Perhaps you might notice that by examining your spiritual beliefs, you may be better able to see the bond that you share with all sentient beings. Becoming aware of this interdependence today can deepen the feelings of connection you have with everything in this world and may even bring you to understand greater truths about your place in the universe. You might, for example, consider how the food you eat reaches you—from the rain that nourishes the soil to the person who prepares what is on your plate. Looking at the basic elements of your life in this way can help you think about the ways in which others are a part of your life and see these bonds more clearly.

Taking the time to reflect upon our interconnectedness allows us to feel closer and more in touch with the presence all beings have in our lives. Since it can be easy for us to divorce ourselves from the connections we have to the earth, others, and ultimately to spirit, realizing that we are part of an unlimited web helps us see that what we do impacts more than just ourselves. Examining these bonds in turn will bring you to a deeper understanding that you are an integral part of the universe and that everyone and everything is vital and essential to your life today.
